First Impression Of The Ailunce HD2 DMR Handheld Radio.
The HD1 is a good radio, and Retevis improved on an already successful design, notably adding a USB-C port and Bluetooth. In this video I show you the radio compared to the previous model, along with a bit of DMR channel programming.

      Good question. Depends how bad those emissions are for me. Out of bands use for me is ill advised. No need to draw attention or create problems to other services. Otherwise, harmonic limit numbers are a legal construct, but there for a reason, so IMHO it's good to avoid worst-case scenarios.

    He usado esta version -micro W3EDP con buen resultado en 20m . Contactos en la primera prueba con : Rusia, Islandia, Finlandia ... @ 2500 km en el primer intento con solo 10W. Buenos reportes. La antena diispone de otro pico de resonancia alrededor de 10m que es muy sensible al uso de un contrapeso.Este contrapeso es de longitud muy corta y está conectado en el punto de salida "fría" del balun 1:4 , donde se une con la linea abierta de 450 ohmios. Con este contrapeso, puedo despazar el pico de 10m y llegar a 11m con una pérdida lógica de rendimiento.También afecta, pero en menor medida al pico de 20m. La zona intermadia entre picos es adaptable con ATU, pero no espero grandes cosas. El contrapeso es un punto a favor. Comentar además que el balun 1::4 mejor que sea de corriente (dos toroides separados) ya que la version de voltage ( un toroide común) no limita la corriente de modo común generada por la asimetría de la antena. En cualquier caso un choke RF siempre es más que recomendable, es necesario. Buena relización y excelente video.

      @@RadioPrepper Not to drag this on, but not knowing how long you've been licensed, ( Guessing you are a licensed Amateur ?), but Amateur Radio has undergone several changes thru the years ! Some through attrition, some thru advancements in technology ! Not to preach to the choir ! But the latter has likely been most influential, just by the nature of the beast ! Pushing the Radio Amateur out of their role of providing Emergency communications ! In many cases, by individuals that were in charge of Cities Emergency centers, that lacked understanding of the value of the Amateur Radio Service ! Where they chose in many cases, to throw money at it, and bought expensive, many times, " Motorola " radios, and then passed them out like candy, to untrained personnel ! And with the push from Radio manufacturers, to try and help themselves stay alive, to them lower the requirements for becoming a licensed operator ! So what we see today, is simply where Amateur Radio has morphed, into a completely different Animal ! Going from a , " Service ", to now what most think of as a, " Hobby " ! It is what it is ! The Genie's out of the bottle, and it's not going back in ! My advice, if I may, would be instead of sitting on the sidelines, would be to become involved ! Perhaps push yourself into learning new things ! Enjoy the Freedom to communicate, while we still have the ability ! In closing, as the old adage states, " If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem " ! 🤔.....? Just Say'n !

    Bonjour Gilles , tu parles de la longueur du fil mais qu'en est-il de la longueur du coax ? la longueur du coax a t'elle une incidence sur le ROS ? si oui quelle longueur de coax faut-il ? Merci . 73'

    There is an option to add your amateur radio callsign. Is that what disables encryption? It seems like in the USA you are better off not using the callsign which isn’t required on 915Mhz even if you have one.

    • @RadioPrepper
      @RadioPrepper 20 днів тому

      Yes, nobody should use their callsign on 915, the same way you would not use your HAM callsign on CB.

    How much more distance is it possible to achieve switching from Long Range fast/fast to Very Long Range/Slow? I live in a crowded city so looking for ways to achieve better distance even if it's way slower.

    • @RadioPrepper
      @RadioPrepper 21 день тому

      Not sure but the problem is that everyone is on LongFast but for a private channel, you could try slower, but not the minimum, which doesn't really work.

    Bonjour j ai acheté le Retevis RA79 pour écouter les frequences aéronautiques. La reception n'est pas bonne les voix sont nazillarde et grésillent. Est ce normal sur ces frequences, mauvaise programation ( pas 8.33, Narrow , AM) ou une defectuosité du talkie. En Narrow et Wide la reception est identique.
